Annuities are widely used — yet often misunderstood. In this episode of Regarding Retirement, financial planner Neil Henry breaks down why annuities generate so much confusion and how different types serve very different purposes. The conversation explores fixed, indexed, and variable annuities, common misconceptions fueled by media coverage, and why liquidity, fees, and income structure matter. Neil also discusses how annuities may be positioned within a broader retirement income plan, especially when balancing market risk, interest rates, and long‑term income needs. This episode focuses on understanding the tool itself — without lumping every annuity into the same category.
